My views on the humorous, fascinating and semi-trivial things in lifeMon, 15 Oct 2012 13:33:29 +0000hourly1https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.4By: JPhttps://blog.timesunion.com/amanda/why-ohh-why/24748/#comment-55543
Wed, 01 Aug 2012 00:10:02 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/amanda/?p=24748#comment-55543I enjoy FB because it makes me feel good about myself/keeps me in check. If I’m complaining about something I simply look at my News Feed and remind myself not to be one of “them”.

As for the Olympics, it is a nice change to have sports that would normally not be televised (unless on ESPN346 or Sundays at 4pm – between nothing and the news) be put in the limelight. Olympics: Athletes who train for their lives to have limited chances at glory. Pro Sports: Whiney entertainers who are gifted with an ability that causes them to be overpaid.

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 15:33:23 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/amanda/?p=24748#comment-55342I only watch gymnastics and men’s swimming. Gymnastics are just so cool to me. How do they make their bodies do that? Men’s swimming, well,…is a lot of eye candy! 🙂

Brownies are the best.

The View is so far removed from how I feel as a “woman” that they could be speaking martian as far as I’m concerned.

Facebook. It is so freaking boring. I try to get into it every few years but I can’t. My cousin was FB bullied by her soon to be ex husband and then later by her/our step cousin which led to a huge family fight at my grandma’s funeral. It’s just too easy to be mean to people on FB. Not too happy with my family right now.

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:02:00 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/amanda/?p=24748#comment-54771I just say beach chairs for sale this week. Check out BJ’s Warehouse (you don’t HAVE to have a membership card, but they charge you a certain percentage more) – and also at Ocean state Job Lot (it’s my new place to find things that I may, or may not need, at really low prices!)

Did you ever notice that horoscopes NEVER rate a day below ‘5’ for ANYONE? I know that I certainly have had a few days that rate a 2, 3, or 4!

Olympics. YES! They only occur every 2 years (if you count both the summer & winter) – so 17 days is not that bad. I love the opening ceremony especially… and jump around between events that strike my fancy.

I don’t even bother with the frosting part most of the time.

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 11:49:34 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/amanda/?p=24748#comment-54732The no summer stuff at stores in JULY pisses me off. I realized that I needed to get another pair of shorts this week. I only have one pair that I like and fits well and I can’t wear them all the time. Off to the outlets. Nope… no shorts ANYWHERE. And I am going on vacation in October where I will need shorts. Excellent. I am now stuck trying to figure out a size/style/brand and buy them online.

I also have a baby that had a growth spurt this week and no longer fits in any of her summer clothes. Do the stores have summer clothes for kids??? Nope. Poor child is now wearing too small outfits plus random pieces of summer clothes I was able to find (which are the ugly outfits no parent would buy for their kids that were left in the stores). Too bad it won’t get cold enough to wear winter clothes until October. I am considering having my sister who lives down south go shopping down there for summer clothes and mail them up.
